    Typical republican response. Except they left out, “Make his children orphans!”

    (They’re not known for intelligence.)

    That’s not how the so-called ‘conservatives’ apologize.

    .

    More like ‘I apologize for anyone I’ve offended by being so passionate about my job as a Republican* congressman!’

    Since Stantis is obviously stuck on the non-problem of mostly powerless randos on Twit/Face calling for boycotts…

    Sickening.

    Senior advisers began presenting Trump with data showing coronavirus spiking “among ‘OUR PEOPLE’ in Republican states” and projections of virus surges hitting “politically important states.”

    “This new approach seemed to resonate” with Trump.

    US officials say Russian intelligence services are using a trio of English-language websites to spread disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic, seeking to exploit a crisis that America is struggling to contain ahead of the presidential election in November.

    A headline Tuesday on InfoRos.ru about the unrest roiling major American cities read “Chaos in the Blue Cities”, accompanying a story that lamented how New Yorkers who grew up in the tough-on-crime approach of mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg “must adapt to life in high-crime urban areas”.

    Another story carried the headline of “Ukrainian Trap for Biden”, and claimed that “Ukrainegate” – a reference to stories surrounding Biden’s son Hunter’s former ties to a Ukraine gas company – “keeps unfolding with renewed vigors”.

    Two individuals who have also held leadership roles at InfoRos, identified Tuesday as Denis Valeryevich Tyurin and Aleksandr Gennadyevich Starunskiy, have previously served in a GRU unit specializing in military psychological intelligence and maintain deep contacts there, the officials said.

    InfoRos and One World’s ties to the Russian state have attracted scrutiny in the past from European disinformation analysts.

    In 2019, a European Union task force that studies disinformation campaigns identified One World as “a new addition to the pantheon of Moscow-based disinformation outlets”.

    The task force noted that One World’s content often parrots the Russian state agenda on issues including the war in Syria.

    A report published last month by a second, nongovernmental organization, Brussels-based EU DisinfoLab, examined links between InfoRos and One World to Russian military intelligence.

    The researchers identified technical clues tying their websites to Russia and identified some financial connections between InfoRos and the government.

    A Houston doctor who praises hydroxychloroquine and says that face masks aren’t necessary to stop transmission of the highly contagious coronavirus has become a star on the right-wing internet, garnering tens of millions of views on Facebook on Monday alone.

    Donald Trump Jr. declared the video of Stella Immanuel a “must watch,” while Donald Trump himself retweeted the video.

    Before Trump and his supporters embrace Immanuel’s medical expertise, though, they should consider other medical claims Immanuel has made—including those about alien DNA and the physical effects of having sex with witches and demons in your dreams.

    Immanuel, a pediatrician and a religious minister, has a history of making bizarre claims about medical topics and other issues.

    She has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches.

    She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments, and that scientists are cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious.

    And, despite appearing in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on Monday, she has said that the government is run in part not by humans but by “reptilians” and other aliens.

    Day 1,000,053 of the Georgie economic recovery. 0 percent unemployment, no new cases of Covid-19. Not one person died. Free puppy in every pot. Everything is peachy.

    I like to think that he’s just reading the same posts again and they haven’t responded yet.

    I really think that access to the Internet should be limited to 300 baud (1200 baud when I’m feeling optimistic.) That would solve a lot of these problems. The worst consequence would be that people would have to buy their porn on DVD again.
